“My doodle, Emma, had her first overnight stays with Rachael. I was nervous as she had never been away from me. But the photos showed that she was a happy camper, enjoying time with her other dog friends in a great environment! It's a bit of a drive to her place, but she and her family took great care of Emma. I am happy to have a dog caretaker for the next time!”
“Sheri was great. She made sure to send us pictures daily while also making sure our dog got a ton of exercise and attention. Our chocolate lab Daisy and her chocolate lab Sam got along great. She also made sure to clean our dog's ears every day for us since she was having issues with a yeast infection from playing in the ocean. I would recommend her for everybody. ”
“Allison was great! She is so kind and was very patient with my Trigger and his anxiety and sent updates with photos throughout the time he was with her. I would definitely recommend her!”
“A wonderful pet sitter! Very communicative and warm. She was able to accommodate our last minute request, sent us updates and photos of our doggy while we were away, which was very reassuring, and she was flexible and understanding when our ferry delayed our pickup time by almost an hour. We would recommend her and be happy to have her care for our pup again in the future.”
“Vaishali did such an amazing job taking care of Toro! She sent daily photo and video updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. She took exceptional care of our senior dog with so much love and attention. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future! Highly recommend!”
“Chingri loved staying with David and became best friends with an Aussie. David took great care of Chingri and never let her feel bored. He also sent great pictures of her that kept us reassured during our vacation.”
“Kyla and Nick were awesome. My Griffin is a 1 year old, high energy puppy with a mischievous streak. They were wonderful with Griffin checked in and sent pictures a couple of times a day. I would absolutely book with them again.”
“Charlie's second stay with Marlene was even better than his first - He came home happy and completely POOPED out from having too much fun ! Thank you, Marlene for the care you provide. I am completely as ease knowing Charlie is in your care.”
About: I’ve worked in the animal care industry for 10 years now and I’ve grown up with dogs ! They are absolutely a passion of mine! I am also the owner and operator of Oh Shih Tzu mobile grooming! I currently work part time as I am a mom to a 4 year old daughter , so I am home a lot with my own pups! I love taking them to parks and trails and playdates with other dog friends ! I always treat any animal like they are my own! I love getting to know pups and their personalities as every pup is special in their own way !
“Jill and Aaron are simply the best…you k ow the song…better than all the rest. Thanks for taking care of our love one Axel. He’s in the best care when he’s with the both of you and we never worry about him for a second.”
“Jenny was wonderful as always. I requested for Jenny's help so I could take my son out of town for his birthday. I have asked Jenny for help multiple times now with my dog and she always provides 6 out of 5 star service (that is not a typo). Muchas gracias Jenny :)”
About: I have had pets for as long as I remember! From cats, to dogs to reptiles and almost everything in between. I currently have 2 dogs- one pug and one red heeler who are the highlight of days. I'm familiar with having to provide supplements and medications on a set schedule, and enjoy taking my pups for long walks to let them sniff around to their hearts content. I currently work remotely Monday- Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM. I have limited morning availability but the afternoons and evenings I have open availability I do have a smaller fully fenced in yard that is over 6 feet in height. I live in a neighborhood that is great for walks as traffic is very limited!
“Katie is absolutely amazing. Very friendly and welcoming. She made my first time boarding process for my 5.5 year old miniature schnauzer very easy. I learned more about my dog thru her care, and he got returned energized and happy. Overall very satisfied with my boarding experience, thank you!”
“Suzanne and her husband were extremely helpful, polite, communicative, and accommodating. My dog loved staying with them and we would absolutely book with them again.”
“If I could give 10 stars, I would because Michael is the best! His property is perfect for dogs -- a huge fenced wooded area with lots of room to run, and when there are more dogs, they have plenty of places to play and things to play with. Best of all, Michael sent us photos and videos every day we were gone, showing us how well Shiloh, our Golden Retriever, was doing. He looked so content I was worried he wouldn't want to leave when it was time to pick him up. I highly recommend Michael, and we won't hesitate to leave Shiloh with him anytime we go out of town!”
“Logan was absolutely amazing with Scarlet! Logan would take her on walks, have play time with her dog, and lots of belly rubs. Logan kept me up to date with pics and videos on how she was doing and how much fun Scarlet was having at her house. Logan is such a fantastic sitter and I would not only use her services again, but absolutely recommend her to others.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - John Sam Lake
Linda is amazing and I would highly recommend her. She is obviously very experienced with dogs and recognized the needs of our dog right away. We boarded Nia with her for 4 nights and when we picked her up it was obvious she had been well loved and felt comfortable with Linda and at her home. Linda is a great communicator, gets back to you quickly and communicates clearly. She sent us pictures of Nia having a great time on walks and would have sent more but knew we were out of cell phone reception for our trip. Linda gave Nia lots of walks, including at least one really long one a day- perfect for our high energy shepherd mix. If you are looking for a safe home, a loving care giver and meeting a wonderful person- Book Linda now (but not on the dates I need!)
Sheri and Bill are wonderful dog sitters! They always send videos of your dog out on a walk or playing ball in the house. Our dog (Izzy) had a great time at their home and we have already booked two additional stays with them. If we could give them more than five stars we would.
We give Monica 10/10 for the care she gave Twd. We have seen the care she provides to all of her Rover customers and she always treats every pup she has with so much care and love. This is why we felt very comfortable having her keep Twd for a week. I highly recommend Monica.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their John Sam Lake home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your John Sam Lake.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your John Sam Lake sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in WA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
